Ceramic Wall & Counter Top Tile

Appropriate for areas such as bathroom and kitchen walls, counters and backsplashes. Available in many colors and patterns, from bright, solid colors, to subtle patterns to hand painted decorative tiles. Ceramic wall tiles are generally not recommended for floors.

Ceramic Floor Tile

Ceramic floor tile is denser than wall tile and more appropriate for heavy-duty applications. Not only is the bisque stronger but the glazes are also superior. A wide range of colors and patterns are available. Glazed tiles are impenetrable by liquids.
Sizes: 1" x 1" to 16" x 16".

Porcelain Tile

Porcelain is the most dense of all tile types. It is appropriate for kitchen counters, heavy use and exterior applications (vertical and horizontal). Porcelain tile is also frost-proof, so it can be used in swimming pools and fountains. Unglazed porcelains are available in larger sizes for commercial flooring.
Sizes: 1" x 1" to 16"x 16".

Quarry Tile

Quarry tiles are dense, unglazed tiles that are well suited to outdoor applications. They typically are earth tone colors of terracotta-reds, browns, and grays. They are perfect for patios and walkways as well as commercial floors where a non slip surface is needed.
Sizes range from 6" to 12", square & oblong

Marble

Marble is a natural, metamorphic stone. It typically has a highly polished surface. As with most stones, natural color variations are a part of its beauty. It is a relatively soft stone and should not be used in applications where it will be in continuous contact with staining agents, such as in a kitchen. Polished marble can not withstand any exposure to acids such as citric acid from lemon juice. If exposed it will etch and lose its shine.

Marble is most appropriate for formal, lightly used floors but is always in great demand for bathrooms and fireplaces. Not normally for exterior use.
Sizes: 12" x 12", slab

Travertine

Travertines are very similar to marble, but have open tubular veining in the stone that is typically filled when processed. They also have a more directional veining when cut with the grain. Crosscut travertines are becoming more and more popular for their non-directional veining. Travertines come either polished or honed (satin finish).
Sizes: 12" x 12"

Granite

Granite is a very hard volcanic rock that can withstand much more abuse than marble. It is appropriate for kitchen counters, floors, bathrooms, etc. The polished surface of the stone can be used in high use residential counters with minimal upkeep. Like all stones, granite should be sealed after installation to minimize the risk of stain occurring.
Sizes: 12" x 12" & slab

Limestone

Limestone is a sedimentary stone that has become increasingly popular for floors and bathrooms. It has similar properties to marble and often comes in a honed finish. Unlike polished marble, honed limestone has better resistance to etching and scratching. Limestone should always be sealed after installation.
Sizes: 12" x 12", 16" x 16" & 24" x 24"

Slate

Slates are composed of layers of rock, sometimes showing great color variations from layer to layer. Slate is a very porous stone that must be sealed for any interior application. The material has a clefted (textured) surface which makes it it a very non-slip surface. It can be used for floors, fireplaces, kitchen backsplashes, etc. Slate makes an excellent exterior material.
Sizes: 12" x 12" & 18" x 18"

Tumbled Stone

Tumbled stone is marble, travertine, limestone or slate that is cut and then tumbled to achieve a very rustic, old-world appearance. 4 Inch tumbled marble is extremely popular for kitchen backplashes, especially with granite countertops. Tumbled stones also make very durable, non-slip floors. All tumbled stones should be sealed with a high quality sealer.
Sizes: 2" x 2" to 16" x 16"
